Jogia previously starred in the ABC Family drama “Twisted” and will next be seen in the upcoming film “Ten Thousand Saints” with Hailee Steinfeld, Emile Hirsch, Asa Butterfield, Ethan Hawke, and Emily Mortimer.

In “Tut,” the Canadian actor will star opposite Ben Kingsley, who was previously cast in the role of “Ay,” the Grand Vizier to King Tutankhamun who wields tremendous power and influence.

The six-hour series will tell the story of the legendary young pharaoh who ruled Egypt from 1332 BC to 1323 BC, tracing his rise to power amidst scheming advisors, friends and lovers.

“Tut” — Spike TV’s first scripted series in eight years (since “The Kill Point”) — will be shot in Morocco and Canada this fall.
